Link's House is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series.(ALttPA Link to the Past | OoTOcarina of Time | TMCThe Minish Cap | TPTwilight Princess | ALBWA Link Between Worlds | BotWBreath of the Wild | TotKTears of the Kingdom | CoHCadence of Hyrule)[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] It is Link's place of residence in several games in the series. It is usually located somewhere within the kingdom of Hyrule.
Link's House is located in a somewhat central location of Hyrule, with Hyrule Castle nearby in the north in A Link to the Past. It is a simple building, containing basic, wooden furniture, and is home to both Link and his uncle. Next to Link's bed, which is situated in the house's northwest corner, are three Pots that each contain a recovery Heart. A Treasure Chest located in the southeast corner of the house contains the Lantern, which will likely be the first item that Link collects in his quest. However, if the Treasure Chest is opened after already receiving the Lantern elsewhere, it will instead contain a Blue Rupee.
At the beginning of the game, Link receives a telepathic plea for help in his sleep from Princess Zelda, who mentions that she has been locked in the dungeon of Hyrule Castle by Agahnim.[9] He wakes up in time to see his uncle about to leave the house, armed with a Sword and Shield. Upon seeing that Link is awake, Link's uncle promises that he will be back by morning and tells Link not to leave the house.[10] Link, however, disobeys his uncle's orders and leaves to investigate the castle. Later, during the game's end credits, Link is shown to be practicing sword fighting with his uncle outside of their home.
Link's House is one of the locations that he can choose to start in when continuing the game, provided that Link is in Hyrule and not the Dark World. Later, after obtaining the Flute, it also becomes one of the locations that Link can be transported to by the Flute Boy's Bird.
In the Dark World, the Bomb Shop corresponds to where Link's House would be located.

Ocarina of Time begins with Link being woken up inside his house from a nightmare involving Princess Zelda by Navi the Fairy, on the orders of the Great Deku Tree. Here at Link's House in the Kokiri Forest is where the two companions first meet, although Navi's first insistence is that Link leaves the house to visit the Deku Tree with haste. The house is more or less irrelevant in the game after a point, although an interesting feature that keeps its use alive is a scoreboard within the room, with which Link can inspect his achievements in various mini-games throughout Hyrule.
When loading a saved game, young Link will begin in his home if the game was saved while he was not in a dungeon. Link can obtain a Cow that stays in his house after beating Malon's record for the Obstacle Course at Lon Lon Ranch as an adult.[11]
In Ocarina of Time 3D, Link has the option to sleep in his bed in the house. By doing this he can either recover his health, or access the Boss Challenge Mode, where he can refight any boss which he has defeated in his quest. A Sheikah Stone can also be found just outside his house.
In The Wind Waker, Link and his younger sister, Aryll, live with their grandmother in a house on Outset Island. The house becomes fundamental to more elements of the game's plot than most other games in the series, with Link having to return on various occasions to find a Shield and to release a Bottled Fairy onto his ailing grandmother,[12][13] resulting in her infinite offerings of free, revitalizing Elixir Soup.[14] A crawl space can also be found under the house, containing a Chest with an Orange Rupee.
Later in the game, Link also receives the Deed from Mrs. Marie to the Cabana on the Private Oasis, thereby making it his.[15] There he gains access to a labyrinth beneath the island, which houses a Triforce Chart. Link can also play a Sliding Picture Puzzle and earn Rupees as a reward in the Cabana.
In The Minish Cap, Link lives with his grandfather, Smith, Hyrule's famed swordsmith.[16][17] The two-storied home doubles as a smith's forge in addition to being a residence. It has a similar appearance to its A Link to the Past incarnation. It rests on a plateau in South Hyrule Field. Princess Zelda seems familiar with this home, as she is Link's childhood friend and visits early into the story to awaken Link for the Picori Festival.[18] Later in Link's journey, he has the option to stay here for the night to recover lost Hearts, as well as Fuse Kinstones with Smith, who can always be found at home smelting.[19]
In Twilight Princess, Link lives in a tree house in Ordon Village that has a similar appearance to Link's house in Ocarina of Time. It contains a basement and a few platforms with ladders, and at the top there is a window which Link can look through. A pot of boiling soup can be found over a burning fire that is kept lit throughout the game. There is also a green flag with a triangular symbol, similar to the Triforce, above the house's door. The basement contains a Treasure Chest with 50 Rupees in it, though the room is so dark that it may require the Lantern to find it. Also in the basement is a large mirror which Link can see his reflection in. Near the beginning of the game, Rusl will deliver the Wooden Sword to Link's House.
In A Link Between Worlds, Link's House appears in the same location it was in A Link to the Past.[20] However, it is much smaller and Link is the only person to live there at first. Ravio moves in shortly after Link's failed confrontation with Yuga, and later sets up a rental shop within the home.[21] Link can return here at any time to rent items from Ravio. Eventually, Ravio allows Link to purchase the items he has for rent.[22] Majora's Mask, or possibly a replica of it, hangs on the wall of Link's House in A Link Between Worlds. Though it serves no purpose in the story or regular gameplay, Link can merge into the wall behind the mask to make it appear as though he is wearing it.
Lorule's equivalent of Link's House is the Vacant House.
In Breath of the Wild, Link's House can be found on the southern end of Hateno Village, separated from the rest of town by the bridge spanning Firly Pond. When Link initially comes upon the House, the workers of Bolson Construction will be in the process of tearing it down.[23][24]
According to Bolson, the House has been left vacant for years, and since no one has wanted to buy it, the residents of Hateno Village decided to tear it down.[25] If Link offers to buy the House, Bolson reveals that it would cost 50,000 Rupees, but he decides to give Link a special price of 3,000 Rupees and 30 bundles of Wood.[26] He will then order Hudson and Karson to halt their demolition.[27] This initiates the "Hylian Homeowner" Side Quest. Once Link brings his payment to Bolson, the House will officially belong to Link.[28][29]
As a housewarming gift, Bolson allows Link to keep the Weapon Mount inside the House, since he was unable to sell it himself.[30] Bolson will then offer to sell additions to Link's House, costing 100 Rupees each.[31] The additions are as follows:
| Object | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Weapon mount. | 2 |
| Bow mount. | 3 |
| Shield mount. | 3 |
| Object | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Bed. | 1 |
| Lighting. | 1 |
| Door. | 1 |
| Object | Quantity |
|---|---|
| A sign with my name! | 1 |
| Plant some flowers! | 1 |
| Plant trees! | 1 |
Link will be able to sleep in his Bed once it has been acquired. He can also hang up Weapons, Bows, and Shields in their respective mounts. After purchasing all of the additions, Bolson will give Link some free Furniture as a sign of appreciation.[32] With this, the "Hylian Homeowner" Side Quest will be completed.
At the end of the "EX The Champions' Ballad" Main Quest, which is exclusive to The Champions' Ballad DLC Pack, Link will obtain the Picture of the Champions. He can then proceed to hang the Picture up next to his Bed in his House.
The House that Link owned in Hateno Village in Breath of the Wild has now become Princess Zelda's House, though Link can still sleep in the Bed inside. Instead, Link can now build his own House on a cliff southeast of Tarrey Town, by purchasing individual parts from Grantéson as part of the "Home on Arrange" Side Quest.

Help me... Please help me... I am a prisoner in the dungeon of the castle. My name is Zelda. The wizard, Agahnim, has done... something to the other missing girls. Now only I remain... Agahnim has seized control of the castle and is now trying to open the seven wise men's seal.... ... I am in the dungeon of the castle. Please help me...— Princess Zelda (A Link to the Past)
Link, I'm going out for a while. I'll be back by morning. Don't leave the house.— Link's Uncle (A Link to the Past)
You did it! ... I have to give you a present to commemorate your new record! The present is a little too heavy to give to you here, so I'll have it delivered to your house. Bet you can't wait to see it! Hee hee!— Malon (Ocarina of Time)
In fact, it might not be a bad idea for you to visit your hometown and family again after such a long time away.— King of Red Lions (The Wind Waker)
Even a simple little island like this has to have something you can use as a shield.— Tetra (The Wind Waker)
You got Elixir Soup! This healthy soup your grandmother makes replenishes all of your life energy and magic power!— N/A (The Wind Waker)
I own my very own cabana in a tropical oasis down south. But lately I haven't made use of it at all, so you can have it!— Mrs. Marie (The Wind Waker)
You got the Smith's Sword! It's a sharp blade made by your grandfather.— N/A (The Minish Cap)
The finest swordsmith in Hyrule. As a young man he was a great swordsman.— Figurine (The Minish Cap)
Where's Link? The whole town is bustling for the annual Picori Festival! I thought he and I might go together. Would you mind terribly?— Princess Zelda (The Minish Cap)
You want to fuse Kinstones? OK! Let's do this!— Smith (The Minish Cap)
Say what? This is your house? Looked empty-ish to me.— Ravio (A Link Between Worlds)
Is it okay if I stay here for a while? Just a couple of days, I promise!— Ravio (A Link Between Worlds)
I still haven't found anywhere else to stay. So I spruced things up in here. I've made it into a nice little shop for myself. Pretty great, isn't it?— Ravio (A Link Between Worlds)
[What are you doing?] I'm knocking this place down.— Hudson (Breath of the Wild)
[What are you doing?] Workin', as you can see! This old house has been abandoned. Everyone in Hateno Village agreed we should demolish it.— Karson (Breath of the Wild)
[What're you doing?] In case it's not obvious, I'm demolishing a vacant house. Time are rough. Not a lot of buyers, y'know? So the villagers decided it was best to just tear it down.— Bolson (Breath of the Wild)
[I can buy it!] Whoa, get a load of young moneybags... Just wants to "buy" it, huh? Okey-doo... Let me lay it out for you. See this house? Been vacant for years. So the villagers had a meeting, argued, voted, and decided to tear it down. The demolition costs, with associated fees, and other such details...come in at 50,000 rupees. So when you say you want to "buy" it, you're talking about 50,000 rupees... You got that much on you? ... ...Alright. All right, look. Here's the deal! Just for you! I'll cut you a special price of 3,000 rupees. BUT IN RETURN! I'm going to need you to bring me 30 wood bundles. Building materials... You know how it is.— Bolson (Breath of the Wild)
Hudson! Karson! Stop what you're doing!— Bolson (Breath of the Wild)
[I'll pay your price!] ♪Okey-doo.♪ I'll grab them from you. All I needed to see... Good-faith wood. You're obviously serious about this, and now I know it. So, as promised, I'll sell you this old house for the low price of 3,000 rupees. Once you've got the money together, come grab me.— Bolson (Breath of the Wild)
[I'll shell out!] ♪Now way!♪ Talk about studly! ♪I'll just take that off your hands.♪ Thanks for the sweet investment. Spending so much money on ANYTHING at your age... It's just so...studly!— Bolson (Breath of the Wild)
There's a weapon mount in there that never sold... Consider it a housewarming gift. Hope you get some use out of it.— Bolson (Breath of the Wild)
So the both of us sort of hit a personal milestone, huh? Time to kick back and get LEISURELY, baby! ...Though you look a bit judgemental for such a fine moment. You're looking at me like we should both keep working at it. Heh! You don't even have to say it. "Oh, wah, I just bought a house and it's totally empty and depressing!" Oh, sure, that's you to a T. I see it in your eyes. Yup, I was just like you, about a lifetime ago. So tell you what, lemme help by taking care of furniture, or the exterior, or anything really, for 5,000 rupees. Actually, no, scratch that. For you? Let's start at 100 rupees.— Bolson (Breath of the Wild)
AHH! YOU HOUSING MONSTER! You got EVERYTHING?! Ah, such is the way of youth... Driven! Even reckless, some might say. Well, since you bought everything, I threw in some free furniture! Yeah! Least I could do! Karson! Look lively!— Bolson (Breath of the Wild)
That flash! It looked like the Triforce! I knew you were special. Thank you for helping to wake Link. He has been asleep for a while, so I'm going to stay with him to explain what's going on in Hyrule. You should try to find your way home! I hope our paths cross again someday soon, friend of Hyrule!— Trill (Cadence of Hyrule)
